Genetic testing during IVF involves the examination of embryos for specific genetic conditions or chromosomal abnormalities, before they are implanted during the process. It will serve to choose the healthiest embryo, reduce the risks of genetic disorders, and increase the chances of coming up Book an Appointment with a successful pregnancy and birth. Types of genetic tests that you can access There are several types of genetic tests that can be carried out within IVF; Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A): PGT-A aims to determine chromosomal abnormalities in the embryo, such as the loss or addition of chromosomes. The test will avert miscarriages and increase chances of sound pregnancy for the selection of embryos with proper chromosome numbers. PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders) PGT-M is carried out when one, or both, parents are known to be carriers of a particular genetic disorder, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia. It’s a genetic disorder of an embryo screened for that particular thing with selection made to implant just the healthy ones. Preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements: PGT-SR is used for screening structural abnormality on chromosomes, such as translocations, which can lead to miscarriage or birth defects.

Genetic testing in the in vitro fertilization process involves the following things: Embryo Biopsy A f ll f h b f ll d t i ll

  3. A few cells from each embryo are carefully removed, typically on the fifth or sixth day of development. The biopsy is by its nature, careful and non-damaging. Genetic Analysis: These cells are then sent to a specialized laboratory for genetic testing. Analysis may reveal chromosomal abnormalities or even the exact genetic abnormality of a disease. Embryo Selection: From the analysis, embryos with no detected abnormalities are the healthiest based on genetic analysis testing and would be transferred into the uterus. Embryo Transfer: Following establishment of the most suitable ones, the chosen embryos are loaded in the uterus for implantation and continuation of growth into a healthy pregnancy. Advantages of Genetic Testing in IVF Improved Success Rates: Genetic testing can single out embryos with the best chances for implantation and pregnancy. Reduced risk of genetic disorders. Embryos with genetic abnormalities are identified by genetic testing, which consequently avoids the risk of inheriting such Book an Appointment disorders.
